California’s Hydrogen Goals
California is a national leader in the clean energy transition, and hydrogen is no exception. With the country’s largest fuel cell market and a growing portfolio of hydrogen production and research projects, the state is uniquely positioned to lead the U.S. hydrogen economy.
The Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) drives this growth through the California Hydrogen Market Development Strategy and the Hydrogen Station Permitting Guidebook, helping businesses and communities navigate the hydrogen landscape.
Hydrogen companies can turn to GO-Biz for support with permitting, accessing state funding, and complimentary site selection services to bring projects to market.
